Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments

[European Central Bank]

How many more airdrops are there to come the coming few months?

definitely two more, maybe three. it all depends on how many more bitcoins are linked.

how do you associate a new or specific Byteball address with the Blackbyte distribution?

or are you stuck with the default?

Copy and paste - the bot accepts the address (just like a BTC address), followed by the usual dialog

To find your BB-adresses with balance:
use cogwheel (next to the wallet name) -> advanced -> wallet information -> scroll down -> balance by adresses
Maybe also helpful: https://byteball.fr/BBdistribution.php

Edit: added link

when i copy and paste my byte ball address it asks me sign a btc address to is as per the documentation.
so it does not re assign the black bytes address

Maybe a misunderstanding




There are two ways to participate in this distribution:
A. You link Bitcoin which you own or borrowed
B. You buy some Bytes (not Blackbytes !) or get them from a third party and have to link them (It is necessary to link the Bytes to receive also Blackbytes).

So there is no need to link an address where only blackbytes are located!
Blackbytes do not participate in the distribution, so their price (currently) is much lower.

To link a specific BB-address, send the BB-address to the bot via copy paste, then he will ask for the associated BTC address...
Linkin means to create a pairing from a BTC and one or more BB addresses: BB address <-> BTC address .
Once the BB-address is assigned to any BTC-address (can also be empty) this BB-address is linked.
(It is not about to send  a BB address anywhere or register it somewhere.)

The other way is, simply follow the bot dialog and then consolidate your bytes (not Blackbytes !) on the linked BB address. (The bot tells you the corresponding BB-address)

Summary:
Blackbytes do not participate in the distribution.
To link Bytes, you always need also a BTC address (..to make a pairing BB-address<->BTC-adress ...that's what we call linking).
The BTC-address can also be empty, the amounts on the BB address are then taken into account when the blackbytes are distributed (Bytes -> Blackbytes)
The linking of Bytes is only necessary to receive blackbytes as the blackbytes can not be distributed without linking due to their private properties.
If you try to assign a BTC address to several BB addresses, the BTC address is blacklisted.

black bytes get ~ 0.4 x B held asfaik

You also receive 0.42222 blackbytes for each 1 byte of your balance on the linked Byteball address, which currently is:

In the past month, Bixin has sent giveaways from the Stellar and Byteball team which worth more than one million USD to our users and thus has gained an excellent reputation.

Guys, don't buy high from these parasites on aug 7.

I agree with that. People should withdraw their bitcoins from there.

[s1lverbox]

UPDATE :

893456 BTC linked  which will bring approx. : 55,841 gb

and we have 365,903gb in circulation which will bring : 73,180 gb more after airdrop

So

 365,903+73,180+56,266= 494,924 Gb in total in circulation after give away.

That's 50% of all gbytes.

Yes i think in this rate we will have 3 more airdrops.

Distribution :   0.0625 Gb for each 1 BTC of linked balance and 0.2 new byte for each 1 byte you already hold.
                        131.94375 MBB for each 1 BTC of linked balance and 0.42222 new Bbyte for each 1 byte you already hold (on linked addresses only).

What exactly is this bixin and why you call them parasites ? Because they sell the BCH to BTC or what else ? Also I thought there is no chance for replay attack in BCH, on trezor site (and everywhere else I looked) it was said to be safe, oh, you mean they bullied people into depositing btc to their exchange in order to prevent replay attacks in their (random btc individual) private wallet ?

How to change from light wallet to full wallet?

Also, I manually backed up my wallet by copying the complete /byteball folder. What file exactly do I use to import my backup?

[dr blowfin]

Great to know that there are still going to be a few more airdrops to come.
Looking forward to some nice compounded returns on my Byteball.
Holding on tight to these.

same here, I couldn't believe it is going to work on beginning, but Byteballs surprised me very positive.
They made me addicted to those airdrops.
It is one of best and serious projects I can find in crypto this days.

Nice update and stats, thanks!

Hi guys,

I have a question and sorry if this has already been answered.
It says on the website that

For every 16 BTC you receive 1 GB (1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes),
For every 5 GB you receive additional 1 GB.

for the last round i already received the byteball from the linked BTC addresses, now does that mean this round i will also receive the same amount of byteball if i have the same amount of BTC linked? and also receive a further 1GB for every 5GB i have linked?

[European Central Bank]

Correct. Double check your change addresses un case you've transacted and lost the linking.

[Thirdspace]

---snip---

I see! Thank you for your answer!

Also, sorry for the newbie question, but should the chat with the bot start around half an hour before 18:10 UTC, so that you don't miss the snapshot?

You should link it as soon as possible, need not to wait near deadline time.
Even if you move btc balance from/to that address,
you still get rewarded based on whatever balance left in that address at the time of snapshot.

Yes I believe so. You would be rewarded again as long as the btc address you link still have the same amount in it.
Make sure it is still linked by checking it with the transition bot.

Hoping I'm not too late for this, still haven't download the wallet yet

Desktop wallets can be full nodes (will take a while syncing with the network after the first start) or light nodes.

I suspect light node means something similar to electrum for btc, am I correct?
If I want to go with light node wallet for windows, where can I download it?
do full node & light node walet has different binaries file?
on the first page only win64 version is available.

wallet sync is extremely slow, I sync'ed two days and it's barely from may to july, now half day at around july 10-12. Performance is a big issue.

yes, I've noticed this problem as well when loading up the wallet.

Would be nice if there was a light wallet for use ...

There is, when you installed byteball it asked if you want light or full wallet, you chose full wallet. If you want light wallet, install on a VM or another machine byteball again, choose light wallet this time, send your balance there, backup, uninstall your full wallet on first PC, then install again to light wallet and move lightwallet backup to first PC.

[megashira1]

I made a backup of my byteball wallet by copying the byteball directory and its contents not by generating wallet backup(did not work with my client).

To import this old wallet do I just copy the contents into the new byteball directory?

[maryvale]

The coin price is moving towards the right direction now :-)

Thanks, now that you mention it I remember when i installed the client.  Some how slipped my mind

Yes, replace the byteball directory with the backed up one.
